Javascript question re: dynamically generated input type='text' controls
Hi,
I am developing a page containing dynamically generated input
type="text" controls where their names consist of multiple composite
keys. The name of the input type="text" controls, however, can not be
referenced correctly using javascript. For example, I have the
following html input tag:
<input type="text" size="1"
name="value(number=1480;countryCode=USA;templateNumber=79999;typeCode=STAGE;languageCode=EN;idTypeCode=MODE:::::)"
value="" disabled="true" class="disabledText"
onchange="benefitsChanged();" />
The following javascript won't work because the control name contains =
and ; and : as follows:
document.formname.number=1480;countryCode=USA;templateNumber=79999;typeCode=STAGE;languageCode=EN;idTypeCode=MODE:::::.value
= "";
I only have one other idea how to solve this problem. Instead of control
names containing the multiple composite keys, instead use a simple valid
name. In the action, map the valid name to the multiple composite keys.
Does
anyone have any other ideas how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

Problem solved. It is possible after all to use input control names
containing equals or semicolon or any delimiter as follows:
document.formname.elements("value(number=1480;countryCode=USA;templateNumber=79999;typeCode=STAGE;languageCode=EN;idTypeCode=MODE:::::)").value
= "";
just in case anyone needs this solution.
